FINNISH ARTS
OR
SIR THOR AND DAMSEL THURE.
Sir Thor was a knight of prowess tried,
The son of a king he was beside.
He was a knight excelled by none,
At home such deeds of might he’d done.
And not alone in his native home,
But manhood had he displayed at Rome.
He faithfully served the emperor,
And hatred to all his foes he bore.
King of Norroway was his sire,
His fame spreads over the world entire.
He was a King both aged and grey,
So he summoned his son from Rome away.
